3D Shadow - Tree 17

How often do designers struggle to create a realistic shadow in their work? How many times have you tried extracting a shadow from an object and failed? Shadows can be tricky to manipulate because they are not solid entities. We've found a solution that makes it easy to add 100% transparent shadows with Ambient Occlusion to your designs. Whether you're a designer, cartoon artist, visual effects artist, compositor, or 3D artist, our transparent shadows will make your life easier. They contain everything you need to create a realistic look for your projects. Our images were originally rendered at 2000x2000 pixels with 16-bit depth per channel to prevent banding. We then cropped them to reduce the file size and fit the content ratio. Shadows were captured from different angles, including 25°, 45°, and from the top in multiple directions. We saved two versions of each shadow: one hard version for sunny scenes and one soft version for cloudy scenes. Choose the shadow that suits your design and apply it to the object. Then, use any deformer tool like the "Transform" tool in Photoshop or the "Corner Pin" effect in After Effects to deform the shadow. (Video tutorials are attached.) You can mix and match between hard and soft shadows as you see fit, depending on the light conditions of your scene. Shadows remain shadows and don't change.
